Put the top down and enjoy riding for riding's sake with the Nashbar Ragster II Cycling Sandals. The Ragster II is the perfect choice for casual riding as you get all the comfort of a well-built sandal coupled with the pedaling efficiency of a SPD-compatible sole. That means that off the bike strolls are oh-so pleasant as the recessed cleat is out of the way while the textured rubber sole delivers all the traction you need.

I have had these for years and they are very durable. Open sandals keeps your feet cool, and I even wear them with socks in cooler weather as they are comfy for my wide feet. I have ridden up to 60 miles with them, and walked for a few when I flatted without a pump. Never a blister.

More recently I started commuting to work ten miles each way. While I was previously able to ride longer distances multiple times a week, the twice daily routine has not been good. The bumps in the sole made a pattern of callouses on the soft part between the ball and heel of my foot, and then the callouses cracked, making it painful to walk.

I'll probably use these again for rec rides, but not on a daily basis.

These were part of my personal introduction to clipless pedals, so I'm especially fond of them. Very comfortable, plenty of room for my toes, very smooth inside so if I didn't wear socks (yes I always worry about blisters happening in the middle of a ride), I would likely be just fine. Now if I can find closed shoes as comfortable as these. I may just have to wear thicker socks!

For the price, I find these sandals an excellent value. I took the advice of others and order slightly small (normally a size 10.5 and got the 9-10 rather than the 11-12) and they fit perfectly. They are solid so a bit heavy but extremely comfortable. Seem to be very solidly built. Have used them for a couple months on a daily basis and see no faults. Use them largely for recreation, some road, some mountain. Comfortable enough to knock around in while off the bike.
